Yoga started becoming more popular in the 1980s thanks to the benefits of reducing anxiety, improving muscle tone, and generally making you healthier.+

For those wanting to do yoga at home, there are plenty of instructors offering different types of yoga tutorials (raja yoga, sahaja yoga, jnana yoga, bhakti yoga, kriya yoga, sivananda yoga). Let’s get to it!

In the digital age, online video yoga sessions are everywhere! So get your yoga mat our of the wardrobe and start doing yoga with the help of some of Superprof’s favourite yoga websites!

This yoga website is one of the most visited around the web and offers yoga tutorials from experienced yoga tutors. You’ll find videos explaining how to do a pose or asana (for example, there’s a two-part video on “backbending” and videos on how to balance on your foot or how to do the perfect sun salutation).

The best thing about the site is the incredible diversity of the different yoga tutors and yoga styles: hatha yoga, vinyasa yoga, kundalini yoga, asthanga yoga, and even power yoga and prenatal yoga for pregnant women.

Bad Yogi

Don’t let the name fool you, this is a great channel for those who’d like to practise yoga. In fact, the reason it’s called “Bad Yogi” is because it’s not a channel for those who’ve perfected yoga, it’s for those who want to get better at it. You can follow Erin’s personal and interesting yoga videos on her channel.

The Best Yoga Poses on Pinterest!

For those who don’t know about Pinterest, here’s a quick crash course! This social network’s name comes from two very common words. “Pin” and “Interest”.

Just like you used to pin up important things like timetables and photos of your friends, gig tickets, etc. Pinterest, is a digital bulletin board for the 21st century: you pin up things you like and you can see what other people pinned, too.

Other Resources for Yoga Online

As you’ve probably gathered, the main advantage of the internet is that you can start practising yoga from the comfort of your own home.

If you’re on your own, you can also listen to yoga podcasts. (Source: pixabay.com)

Meditation Podcasts

Meditation podcasts are a great way for people to have an extraordinary meditation experience in their everyday lives. Guided meditation uses audio technology to amplify the slowest cerebral waves to induce a relaxed meditative state. You should use headphones. However, don’t listen to them if you’re driving or using machines. There are plenty of great yoga podcasts. Why not take a look at what music works best with yoga classes!

Radio Stations Dedicated to Practising Yoga

There are plenty of radio stations that offer yoga sessions that you can do from the comfort of your own home outside of your regular yoga sessions. Practising asanas (postures) in a precise and traditional way can help you develop a deeper understanding of your body and improve your concentration and overall mental state.

Online Yoga Classes with Teachers from Superprof!

Of course I can get yoga classes near me on Superprof! It’s easy. By searching “yoga” alongside your postcode, you’ll find plenty of at-home and online yoga tutors to choose from!

The Benefits of Yoga with a Private Tutor

As we said, there are literally tonnes of fantastic yoga resources on the internet for you to sink your teeth in. However, there are certain things that a video of a yoga instructor or a yoga instructor over Skype won’t be able to do.

If you head to Superprof, search “yoga”, and put your in your postcode, you’ll come across plenty of different yoga instructors. A private yoga tutor will work with your strength and weaknesses to make sure you get the most out of every hour you spend together. They’ll also make sure that you’re doing everything right. Something you won’t get with a video instructor.
